We toggled to 18+ and sort of let nature take its course by only enforcing TOS. I say “we” but in reality I was the only active mod on either sub, so I do feel bad for getting awkwardtheturtle banned by association (lol). After the fact got the "It’s not ok to show people NSFW content when they don’t want to see it.
Mods should not make malicious changes to their communities, such as allowing rule-violating behavior or encouraging the submission of sexually explicit (18+) content in previously safe-for-work spaces."
This is my first post, also fuck Spez
Treating unpaid volunteers like they are employees who you can threaten and abuse because they are dependent on you financially is the dumbest, most reddit like phenomenon I have ever seen. They must think we are all hopelessly addicted and will come crawling back when the last dopamine hit wears off. Honestly any mod who is treated like this and then goes back to work for free needs some kind of intervention.
To be fair, the number of addicts still on that site and arguing in spez’s favor says he’s right.
I still don’t know if those are real users or their employees/bots, it seems too coordinated so I assume it’s bots.
